Download or read book Sky to Space written by Steve Fentress and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sky to Space: Astronomy Beyond the Basics with Comparisons, Ratios and Proportions gets you started as a space explorer. This book shows you how to follow the clockwork motions of Earth's sky, then how to predict what you would see from our moon, other planets and moons in our solar system and other solar systems. It also gives you above-average insight into what's happening during the solar eclipses of 2017, 2020, 2023 and 2024. You'll get scientifically accurate results using pencil, paper and easier-than-you-think math. When you're done, you'll know: If you were on Jupiter, how large would Jupiter's moons appear compared to our moon in our sky? When asteroid Apophis comes near Earth in 2029, how close will it be compared to the distance to our moon? When space artist Chesley Bonestell painted his famous image of Saturn as seen from its moon Titan, how did he decide how big Saturn should appear in the frame of the picture? An extensive chapter on eclipses explains the movements of the moon and its shadow and shows you how to predict eclipses using the Saros cycle. Additional moon chapters include "Giant Moon," "Red Moon" and "Why Does the Moon Seem to Follow Your Car?" This book contains many project ideas. With a pencil, a ruler, and two coins, accurately draw the phase (crescent, quarter, or gibbous) of any moon or planet as seen from anywhere in a solar system. Figure out how far you must fly from Earth for our home planet to appear as a point of light. Use real data to predict how big one of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets would appear in the sky of one of its neighbors. The author is a planetarium director who brings you the benefit of many years' experience creating science activities for homeschoolers, out-of-school groups, adult enthusiasts, and public school enrichment programs. Science students looking for project topics, families looking for homeschool curriculum enrichment, amateur astronomers and model rocket flyers, adults learners and space cadets of all ages will find exciting new ideas in this book.

Book excerpt: "A towering epic to rank with Douglas Preston's Blasphemy and Michael Crichton's Prey... Pandemic drought, skyrocketing oil prices, dwindling energy supplies and wars of water scarcity threaten the planet. Only four people can prevent global chaos. Gary Morgan--a brilliant, renegade scientist is pilloried by the scientific community for his belief in a space elevator: a pillar to the sky, which he believes will make space flight fast, simple and affordable. Eva Morgan--a brilliant and beautiful scientist of Ukrainian descent, she has had a lifelong obsession to build a pillar to the sky, a vertiginous tower which would mine the power of the sun and supply humanity with cheap, limitless energy forever. Gunther Rothenberg--the ancient but revered rocket-scientist who labored at Peenemunda with von Braun to create the first rockets and continued on to build those of today. A legend, he has mentored Gary and Natalia for two decades, nurturing and encouraging their transcendent vision. Franklin Smith--the eccentric Silicon Valley billionaire who will champion their cause, wage war with Congress and government bureaucracy and most important, finance their herculean undertaking. This journey to the stars will not be easy--a tumultuous struggle filled with violence and heroism, love and death, spellbinding beauty and heartbreaking betrayal. The stakes could not be higher. Humanity's salvation will hang in the balance"--

Book excerpt: "[This book] explores the oldest and most important controversy in space law: how far up does national airspace go, and where does the international environment of outer space begin? Even though nations did not object to the first satellites flying over their sovereign territory, after more than six decades there is still no international agreement on how low the right of space object overflight extends, nor are there agreed legal definitions of 'space object' and 'space activity.' [The author]...offers a draft international convention to settle the oldest and most intractable problems in space law."--
